9.6 Checking the Safety Valve
(Located in the water reservoir)
In order to prevent the safety valve from becoming blocked, it is
necessary to allow the steam pressure to escape through the valve. This
procedure should be done every month as follows:
1. Operate the sterilization cycle according to the manual.
2. Allow a pressure of approximately 30 psi (207 kpa ) to build up in
the chamber.
3. Turn the unit off.
4. Remove water reservoir cover.
Caution!
This next step will expose you to HOT STEAM
Caution!
To avoid being burned by hot steam, do not place your face over
the safety valve.
5. Pull the ring of the safety valve using a tool, i.e. screwdriver, hook,
etc. and open the safety valve for 2 seconds, then release. Be
careful not to burn your hands.
6. Turn the unit back on and press the STOP key to abort and vent the
cycle.
7. Wait until pressure decreases to zero, only then can the door be
opened.
